Snap Swivel

[Tiara]

What size and strength snap swivel is everyone using on their lines? What brand are you using? Sampo????

Sampo no. 3 with the welded ring. Have'nt had any problems with them yet.

Tiara,

The swivels with the welded rings will usually be a higher # test than one with split rings.
Opti-Tackle has some real nice bb swivels. Real important to keep the line from twisting.

I've had good luck with Lee's and the Berkly ones.

Sampo's are a great swivel...However at five dollars a piece I have a hard time thinking they are worth it.

But to each their own....The guys that use them swear by them...but i'm a cheapscape.

They are not that much. Fishdog Company had them at the Birch Run show for $22 for 12 of them. I think they are $24.99 on their site. Cabela's is some where's around $26, or $27 for 12.

okay then....2 dollars a peice....still seems steep for me...

I am changing over to the Sampo's this year just cuz I want the coastlock style versus the standard style that opened up on me three times last year.

I just run a line with 50 lb. fireline or wire through the pack, harvest all the Sampo's, and then throw back the lures!:D I gotta make ends meet somehow!
